Hello everyone,
not much from me today so far. Expecting another busy day(hopefully not as busy as yesterday) Was so wiped went to bed before 8. Ex was miffed that we couldnt get together but he wouldnt have been able to see me until close to 10. No way when I was that tired.
fingers crossed my dr's appt doesn't get canceled for tomorrow. Been having lots of problems w/ my health center. There's a health center that's even closer to me but they aren't taking new patients.

take care everyone and have a great day
Lizzy

Good Morning Ladies.

This might sound silly.....I think Garrett is trying to stay home sick from school. He has been up and down all night in the bathroom....but, ahem, nothing is happening.

WI last night I stayed the same. Thats fine. My migraine is gone. And speaking of that migraine, there really is a name for it(besides migraine). I looked on Webmd and googled it and there really is "Menstrual Migraine". Also, I think I figured out why they only started a few years ago.....because before that I had been on the pill for years which helped my estrogen level! AHA! So I am not nuts!

On tap for today, I need to do my elliptical when I get home from work. I wanted to get up early this morning to do some of it, but after being up on and off with Garrett there was no way.

Lizzy....fingers crossed that you get in to the Dr. today.

Need more coffee.

morning!

Is it Friday yet? So, had a very restless night last night. Got some bad news on Dad's health around 4 yesterday and just couldn't seem to pull myself back up. I really hate it that our parents are mortal ya know? What I hate even more is that the evil parent doesn't have any issues and will live to be 200 years old and the dear sweet one just continues to get one slam after another. I hate seeing him in pain. Oh well...nuff said before I bring everyone crashing down . I've scheduled a long visit over the easter weekend with him so something to look forward to.

Got my exercise in and am sitting here with my gardenbake, v8, and 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Day is off to a good start. I sure hope the scales moves this week. My body seems to want to hover around 178 and won't give it up. Been trying to mix up my points a bit this last week...hopefully that along with the exercise will help. My psyche needs to see that scale move though

Lizzy - hope the doc appt goes as planned. Fingers crossed.

Everyone else...have a great day!

Well I am staying home with Garrett. He still has the stomach issue even after pepto. It is amazing me that anything is still coming out!

Lori.......I am so sorry that your dad is sick. (((HUGS))) to you and him! Just for this week, do what you can to battle that 178.

Morning everyone.
Oye this is a crazy week. Went to drop ds at school yesterday with the intent of heading to the gym, but after being up since 3:30 am, I was so tired, I came home and took a nap. Got a walk in with the family yesterday afternoon, but was not happy with myself. Still really tired this morning, but I have a lot to do today. I'm teaching an art unit in ds class today at 1:45, and I have to make the fondant for the baby cupcakes, in addition to working, and working out.

Jen-glad the migraine is gone. I have never had any doubt that my migraines were related to hormones. I was riddled with them during pregnancy. Not surprising that there actually is a menstrual migraine.
I'm hoping I get my TOM soon, because the accompanying depression this month is not helping me. Hope G feels better soon.

Lori-I'm sorry sweetie. I totally understand. It has always boggled my mind that ds' mom, who somehow held he family together even though she didn't leave the b**tard, has had so many health problems, while his dad is so pickled and preserved by alcohol that it seems he'll live forever.

Lizzy-hope your day today is less exhausting. Crossing my fingers that your doc appt is ok.

Ok, gotta work.
C-y'all later,
Sue

Morning girls...dragging my a$$ today...couldn't not get up and get going so just decided to take the extra 2 huors and nap. I slept like a baby!!! I think it may be the dreariness outside that did it. Know how you sleep so good when it is nasty out??? Anyway, they are warning us like crazy on the TV this morning about the potential weather that is heading our way..may be here as early as noon..talking hail, winds, tornadoes YIKES!!!! We can always use the rain but we don't need any of the rest of it...temps are already at 68 outside so this is NOT a good sign.

Weighed at the doc yesterday and good news..I stayed the same..will defintely take that considering my weekend from hell! The nurse that weighed me wanted to know if I had ever tried the South Beach Diet...do any of you know anything about it?? She said my nurse practitioner was suggesting that to patients now...told me to go to library and get a book on it and just read up on it and call if I had questions..may look into it some more.

Lori..hugs for you and your dad! Sorry he isn't doing well! Easter is not that far off!!!

Lizzy..bummer on ex last night!

Jen..sending get well vibes! Took DD to have a wart burnt off yesterday afternoon and they had a stomach virus in the office and this girl that is in the 7th grade that DD knew puked all over the freaking waiting room..IT WAS HORRID!!! I told DD for goodness sake hold your breath and don't breathe until they get you to a room..tee hee!!!

Morning Sue...snuck in on me!! Have a great day!

Well I called work and could tell my boss was not thrilled. He doesn't have kids....so I plainly told him that I can't very well send him to someones house to be watched while sick.
I am figuring on getting on the elliptical in a little bit. I definately need to eat something first. Probably some oatmeal.
While at Wally the other day, I bought a new DVD for the stability ball. 10 Min. solutions. It is broken down into 10 min segments for each area. I will try that later too...probably after I disinfect this house for the zillionth time in a week. UGH.

Sue......The activity you got in was definately better than nothing, wasn't it? Stop beating yourself up! I always knew, in my mind, the migraines were related to TOM, but never realized how common it was.

Terry....you be careful today! I hate the word tornado! We are in a flood watch here....almost makes me glad that I am not at work today because all I would be doing is watching the river level. LOL My Dad and his GF have done south beach. From what I understand, it is fairly balanced and unlike atkins, advocates good carbs. Read up on it and see what you think.
